Traffic Related Complaints:

Other: Traffic is absolutely insane now in the mornings with IU students back and local schools in session. 17th street is backed up with insane amounts of people trying to head east. One cannot get through the light to turn onto Madison to head south. This area is a part of a study that needs help! Everyone who interacts with these conditions don’t have time to try and come out to a work session about bike lanes, we also need to get to and from work in a timely manner in our vehicles that are also carpool! How is this going to be fixed when more and more density continues to be built with lots of parking for increased vehicles on 17th street when the street facilities and light patterns are not adequate? The fact that there are two additional tiny intersections for the crowd to get to IU’s campus across the downtown college and walnut corridor is atrocious. Please work on this traffic in the morning!

Thanks for sharing this. We are aware that traffic in this area has increased with IU and local schools back in session, and we’ll be doing field observations during the morning peak to get a better understanding of the queues and how the intersections are operating. We’ll use those observations to see whether there are reasonable operational adjustments we should consider.
